Abstract
After the spread of the COVID-19 epidemic at the end of 2019, it quickly affected all aspects of cultural, social, economic, and political life. Based on this, various sociological research was conducted in Iran after the outbreak of Covid-19. Examining this research can help to understand the experience of Iranian sociology in facing the COVID-19 epidemic. This research has been conducted using a systematic review method. The investigated study includes 101 scientific research articles published from the beginning of the COVID-19 epidemic to November 2023. After collecting the relevant research, they were analyzed and evaluated from two aspects. First, the selected studies were structurally reviewed. Then, the content of the research findings was categorized. Based on the analysis, sociological researches has been carried out in several significant areas: medialized bio-world (virtual space and traditional media), bio-world in danger (anxiety and fear, danger, quarantine, and trauma), medicalization (care, medicalization, and health), semantic rethinking (rethinking and death thinking) and changing social-cultural relations (family interactions, cultural changes, social changes, collective behaviors, marginal groups and religiosity changes). Some topics and areas of research, such as the political and economic consequences of the COVID-19 epidemic, which affects the entire Iranian society, have been sidelined and have not been investigated much.
